I am working on a facility with a fire pump that was oversized for the
available
public water supply. The pump is 1500 gpm at 85 psi. At 1500 gpm, the
suction
pressure drops to 18 psi. This is characteristic of the water supply and is
not
due to a shut valve or other obstruction. The pump was installed in 2009.
Are
there any safeguards that I should recommend for this situation?
